The people wanna know what date we’re doing before 6/14 so we can announce then! Comment, discuss! Need to know what the top contenders are before a ranked choice vote can be set up.
Please share any significance associated with particular dates and/or any theme ideas. Or, share reasons why a particular date might not work. If there’s already a comment for a date or theme that you want to uplift, please upvote it.
Please also comment about how frequently you want to mobilize during this period (should we have a July date and an August date, or just one date?)
July 19th OR 26th - Widespread local protests in every state on a weekend
August 5th - One massive protest centralized in every state’s capital on a weekday
I think encouraging mass mobilization on a local level (either in all major cities or perhaps even in every county in your state) on a weekend in July would be helpful in emboldening more rural communities before combining all of these communities on August 5th at the state’s capital.
August 5th will mark the 6 month anniversary of the first 50501 protest which was initially centralized in the capital of each state. I think having a huge swell of people in every capital on a weekday in front of staffed government buildings would be more newsworthy and put pressure on state governments to respond to our demands (up for discussion).
I think the theme could be Liberty and Justice for All, with an emphasis on crimes against immigrants, our institutions, and maybe even the USA’s harmful actions on the world stage.
